- FAQs About October 2025 Crypto Events
October 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting month for crypto enthusiasts and blockchain professionals alike. From Singapore to Barcelona, industry leaders and innovators are gathering at premier events that promise cutting-edge insights, networking opportunities, and a glimpse into the future of Web3. Whether you're a developer, investor, or simply crypto-curious, these five events should be on your radar. I've personally attended several of these in past years and can vouch for their value - though my wallet still remembers the London hotel prices!
1. TOKEN2049 in Singapore (October 1-2)
The biannual TOKEN2049 returns to Singapore's iconic Marina Bay Sands, alternating with Dubai as its other host city. This year's edition expects 20,000 blockchain professionals and features over 300 speakers. The lineup reads like a who's who of crypto: Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Aave founder Stani Kulechov, Consensys CEO Joseph Lubin, and even Formula 1 driver Lando Norris. Interestingly, Donald Trump Jr. will also appear as co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Having attended the 2023 edition, I can confirm the after-parties are as legendary as the main event - just don't schedule any early morning meetings!
2. KRYPTO-TOUR in Lyon (October 11)
France's premier student-led crypto event hits Lyon for its 4th edition, organized by the KRYPTOSPHERE association. With 40+ speakers and 1,000 expected attendees at the H7 venue, it offers remarkable value. Tickets range from €14.99 for students to €149.99 for VIP access (which includes a rooftop party until 4am - trust me, it's worth the upgrade). Notable speakers include Meria CEO Owen Simonin and Bybit's France director Ambroise Helaine. What I love about this event is its accessibility - where else can you pick the brains of industry leaders for less than a decent restaurant meal?
3. Digital Asset Summit in London (October 13-15)
Blockworks' DAS London caters specifically to institutional investors, with tickets starting at £820 (group rate) - yes, institutional budgets indeed! The 2025 edition features UK MP Nigel Farage and JPMorgan's Alexandra Prager of Kineys Labs. While the price tag might make retail investors wince, the content justifies the cost for serious players. Pro tip from my 2024 experience: the side events often provide more actionable insights than the main stage.
4. European Blockchain Convention in Barcelona (October 16-17)
Now in its 11th year, EBC Barcelona expects 6,000+ attendees across three stages and an expo area. Beyond the usual conference fare, it offers startup competitions and VIP networking. Bitwise CIO Matthew Hougan and WalletConnect CEO Jess Hougrave headline the speaker list. Ticket prices vary wildly from €610 to €4,800 - Barcelona's October weather almost makes that premium ticket worth it alone!
5. Zebu Live in London (October 21-22)
This Web3 summit's 5th edition features speakers from Gemini, Kraken, and Animoca Brands. With tickets from £200-£1,450, it's more accessible than DAS while maintaining professional rigor. The workshop format sets it apart - last year's smart contract coding session was particularly hands-on.
